Manchester United desperately need three points from tonight’s Champions League game with Roma at Old Trafford.
It has been a bleak few weeks for United and boss Michael Carrick, whose side are on a nine-match winless run in all competitions, the club’s worst sequence of results in 42 years.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma arrive in completely different form. They are unbeaten in Serie A this season, winning seven and drawing three, and they hammered Udinese 5-2 on Saturday. Donyell Malen has been the star once again, with eight Serie A goals and three in the Champions League.
History is very much on United’s side, though. Roma have never won at Old Trafford, and they have suffered some heavy defeats there, including a Carrick-inspired 7-1 hammering in 2007 and a 6-2 defeat in the Europa League semi-final first leg in 2021.

Recent Form & Stats for Manchester United v Roma
- United have won five of the sides’ eight games, Roma recording two victories.
- The Red Devils have won all four home matches against Roma, scoring 15 goals – most notably a 7-1 success in the 2006/07 quarter-final second leg (8-3 aggregate) in which Carrick scored twice and Cristiano Ronaldo registered his first goal in the Champions League proper.
- The most recent meeting between the teams at Old Trafford ended in a 6-2 United win in the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League semi-final first leg, Bruno Fernandes scoring twice for the home side and Lorenzo Pellegrini on target for the visitors. Bryan Cristante scored Roma’s second goal in a 3-2 second-leg win as United progressed 8-5 on aggregate.
- United have won only one of their last four European games against Serie A sides (D1 L2), losing 1-4 at Como on Matchday 3, but have been beaten in only three of their 21 at home (W15 D3). Most recently, they beat Atalanta 3-2 in the 2021/22 Champions League group stage to make it eight wins in the last ten (D1 L1).
- None of United’s 21 home matches against Italian visitors finished goalless.
- Roma have won only one of their 21 away matches against English clubs (D8 L12), 1-0 at Liverpool in the 2000/01 UEFA Cup fourth round – a tie they lost 1-2 on aggregate. They are without a win in 16 subsequent visits (D6 L10), conceding at least once in all of them, and drew 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur on their last visit on Matchday 5 of the 2024/25 Europa League.
- The Giallorossi have therefore never won an away match in the Champions League proper against an English club (D3 L7).
